Non-Contact Color Measurement and the VS450

For all of the advancements in color measurement and management, one challenge still remained: how to accurately measure color without having the instrument come in contact with the sample.

The need for non-contact color measurement comes from businesses in a range of industries. Food, beverages, and cosmetics, for example, all produce samples that cannot come in contact with the measurement device. Other industries, like paints, require users to create a dry sample that can be tested for color accuracy. These testing processes are time consuming and often yield results that are not reliable.

To solve this challenge, X-Rite Pantone has developed the VS450, a unique, non-contact color measurement solution that enables users to effectively measure color without contact. The VS450 can measure the color accuracy of a variety of wet and dry samples, including cosmetics and paints, as well as plastics, powders and other common samples.
